Philip Rivers Confirmed as Colts' Week 17 Starting QB Against Jaguars

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Philip Rivers will remain the starting quarterback for Sunday's Week 17 game against the Jaguars, regardless of playoff implications. Rivers, 44, completed 23 of 35 passes for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a Week 16 loss, bringing the Colts to 0-2 in his starts. While he's provided stability after Daniel Jones' season-ending injury, Rivers is not part of the team's long-term plans. If the Colts are eliminated this week, Steichen may consider starting rookie Riley Leonard or Anthony Richardson (if available) in the season finale.
